- Hospital at Home (HaH) has been demonstrated to be effective in a variety of settings and patient populations.1, 2 However, it is unknown whether HaH is feasible or effective for socioeconomically disadvantaged patients. Our aim is to determine whether HaH services were received by disadvantaged patients, and if so, whether effectiveness differs for patients depending on socioeconomic status (SES…April 2022Environment/Context
- U.S. media has extensively covered racial disparities in COVID-19 infections and deaths, which may ironically reduce public concern about COVID-19. In two preregistered studies (conducted in the fall of 2020), we examined whether perceptions of COVID-19 racial disparities predict White U.S. residents’ attitudes toward COVID-19. Utilizing a correlational design (N = 498), we found that those who…March 2022COVID-19/Coronavirus, Racism

- Background: Simple visualizations in health research data, such as scatter plots, heat maps, and bar charts, typically present relationships between 2 variables. Interactive visualization methods allow for multiple related facets such as numerous risk factors to be studied simultaneously, leading to data insights through exploring trends and patterns from complex big health care data. The…February 2022Policy and Practice
- In 2016 and 2017, the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene established Neighborhood Health Action Centers (Action Centers) in disinvested communities of color as part of a place-based model to advance health equity. This model includes co-located partners, a referral and linkage system, and community space and programming. In 2018, we surveyed visitors to the East Harlem Action…February 2022Services & Programs
- The study of social inequality and stratification (e.g., ethnoracial and gender) has long been at the core of sociology and the social sciences. In this article, I argue that certain tendencies have become entrenched in our dominant paradigm that leave many researchers pursuing coarse-grained analyses of how difference relates to inequality. Centrally, despite the importance of categories and…February 2022Policy and Practice
